Update on Hunt lawsuit: parties stipulate to extend time for filing of response to First Amended Complaint

June 19, 2017

The parties in the Mark Hunt v. UFC/White/Lesnar case have stipulated to allow the defendants an extension to file a responsive pleading to Hunt’s First Amended Complaint.

Hunt filed the First Amended Complaint on June 1, 2017. According to the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, a party has 20 days from the filing of the complaint to respond. The stipulation extends the response date to June 26, 2017.

This is not huge news but gives defendants and extra weekend to file an Answer, Counterclaims or another Motion to Dismiss. Since it gives defendants an extra weekend to prepare a response, I would suppose a Motion to Dismiss might be filed once again, or at least a motion to dismiss the RICO claims. We will see.
